> I don't blame the restaurants that found the QR menus to be a cost savings/time savings.

I sure do. That's a choice the restaurant is making, so they get the blame.

That's not what that sentence means? To be fair it might be a regional colloquialism?

To rephrase: I understand and appreciate that restaurants have found QR menus to save money and time, so I realize there's a larger context to why these things will likely remain and why I'm willing to put up with them. Restaurants are certainly making a choice in which style of menu they present; I just understand it is a harder choice now with a new local minima for menu preparation cost/time.

Your rephrasing makes me think that I understood what you were saying in the first place. But perhaps my response was misunderstood?

All I'm saying is that when a business decides to conduct their operation in a particular way, that's their decision and if I find it objectionable, I will correctly blame that business for making that decision, and will avoid doing business with them in the future.
